The Ultimate Coastal Lifestyle Journey through Newport Beach.
Newport Beach is one of the most famous oceanside cities in the country. Set against the backdrop of the sparkling Pacific Ocean, Newport Beach offers picturesque coastal views and ten distinct neighborhoods that cater to everyone from beach lovers to growing families to retirees enjoying their vacation properties.
Newport Beach: Live your summer all year long.
The allure of Newport Beach’s laid-back coastal lifestyle is clear. The eight miles of shoreline encompassing sandy beaches and the iconic Newport Beach Pier is a natural draw for nature lovers—and there is no shortage of activities to fill your days. Back Bay trails provide scenic hiking routes, Lido Village offers upscale shops and eateries, and Duffy boat cruises in the harbor allow you to pull your boat right up to a waterfront restaurant for dinner—or “dock and dine”—alongside locals and tourists alike.
The style-savvy flock to Fashion Island®, Newport Beach’s premier shopping destination. Featuring world-class stores and eateries, plus a movie theater and various monthly events, the open-air shopping center is a hub for the surrounding neighborhoods. Across the street is the Newport Beach Country Club, a celebrated social haven that melds an exceptional golf course with panoramic ocean views.
The Lido House Hotel is not only an ideal spot for out-of-town guests, but also a trendy meeting place for the after-work crowd thanks to creative culinary offerings from Mayor’s Table and libations from Topside Roof Deck, Newport Beach’s only rooftop bar.
Many distinctive neighborhoods make up Newport Beach. Some of the most popular are Belcourt, Big Canyon, Cliffhaven, Dover Shores, Eastbluff, Harbor View Hills, One Ford Road, and the Port Streets. Architectural styles vary from Cape Cod to Tuscan to everything in between—meaning you can find the exact design that’s right for you.
Corona del Mar: The crown of the sea.
Corona del Mar is perhaps the most charming neighborhood in Newport Beach. Spanish for “the crown of the sea,” Corona del Mar lives up to its name with beautiful oceanside destinations like Big and Little Corona Beach, tidepools, coastline views, and boutique Village shops. The city is known for its pristine parks and lookout spots, including Inspiration Point—there is no better place to catch the sunset. The many quaint specialty shops and restaurants attract both residents and tourists, many on foot or bicycles.
The Flower Streets of Corona del Mar are comprised of approximately 2,400 homes—an eclectic mix of original cottages, new condos, and multimillion-dollar single-family properties—spanning from Avocado Avenue to Hazel Drive. The Flower Streets boast a prime location in the Village near award-winning schools and nearly one-third mile of sandy beaches, making them highly desirable for families.

Balboa Island: A one-of-a-kind gem.
Whether you choose to drive, walk, bike, or take the ferry over, a one-of-a-kind experience awaits you on Balboa Island. Extremely family-friendly—thanks in part to the Balboa Fun Zone Ferris Wheel—the island also offers outdoor enthusiasts countless options, including kayaking, paddle boarding, and biking along the boardwalk.
Those seeking live entertainment, dinner, and drinks need look no further than The Village Inn, a Balboa Island mainstay since 1933. Cozy bistros like Ciao Italian Restaurant also give food and wine connoisseurs a reason to return again and again.
Not to be missed, as every local will attest, are the island’s two most iconic desserts: The Balboa Bar and the Frozen Banana. Check out Dad’s Donut & Bakery shop to taste these creations and satisfy your sweet tooth.
The main island of Balboa has approximately 1,099 homesites, making its properties highly sought after for everything from full-time residences to vacation rentals. There are both interior street homes and waterfront lots with stunning views of Newport Harbor, many of which come complete with docks for your aquatic toys. All the streets are named after different semi-precious stones, echoing the beauty of the natural surroundings.
